Summary
Rob Taub is not only a respected figure in film, radio, television, and journalism but also an advocate for type 2 diabetes and ambassador for a joint venture between the American Heart Association and American Diabetes Association called Know Diabetes By Heart, which aims to educate people about diabetes and heart disease.
Taub believes that a lack of understanding surrounding the body and how it functions in sickness and in health, as well as what it needs in order to function properly, greatly contributes to the growing sickness of American adults and kids today.
On today's episode, you will learn:
- The degree to which genetics contribute to the development of diabetes
- What Taub has personally found to be the best treatment for type 2 diabetes treatment
- Why diabetes is on the rise despite an increase in the availability of pharmaceuticals to treat it
